the officers themselves will be relieved of

The Fort Worth GAZETTE, one of the
most careful of journals, hiss lioel silt
on hand: damages claimed $4,000. I.
seems to US THE GAZETTE has made sui
tcient amends to satisfy any honorable
man. Surely there will be sense enough
in the next Legislature to embody in r
libel bill the provision (amcng others
that no man claiming damsges for al
legged libel shall recover more than
"Hquidsted damages" is, shall only
be awarded such damages Is he can prove
he has actually sustained.

The broker fooled his friends and the

GOOD SUGGESTION,

We would aTain call the attention of the
farmers of The Panhandle to the fact that the
Dallas Fair Is approaching and that there is q
desire on the part OF the Fort Worth and Den
yer City Railway Company to make an exhibit
OF the products OF the Panhandle. The hearty
co operation of the farmers in sending in such
products ss they wish TO chow, as also the
dissemination OF. the knowledge by not only the
newspapers of the Panhandle. but the mer-
chants throughout the stores Will be necessary
to make this q success.

grown In the Panhandle, and many Of them

To the Editor OF the Gazette.
Some time ago a so-caIled Farmers
Alliance, but really an adjunct Of the Re-
publican party in Indiana, whereesed
snd resoluted against President Cleveland
for the purpose OF making political CAPT
tai for tde Republican nominees for the
presidency in the next campaign About
the same time Mr.. S5rCeter Of Illinois,
who is ssid to be at the heed OF the Farm
ers' Alliance IN the north, which is a p0-
litiCal movement, visited the south Osten-
sibly in the interest Of labor. He was at
Waco during the session OF the Farmers
State Alliance of Texas, where he made
speech absolutely in the interest of new
political party. He then went to Atlantis,
where, by the courtesy of the Planters
Association there convened, he made
about the same speech he did at Waco.
In each OF these speeches he had good
deal to say about the "Iittle lambs left
shOrn and chilled, out in the cold by ell the
old parties, ard the efforts used TO make
them "stick" just before en- election
Now, put ing this and that together, it
occurs to NE that when Mr.. Streeter re-
turned to his northern home, on the first
favorable opportunity, he would call his
tiocks around him and talk to them about
as follows: Glands, have been down
south to see how the political land lies.
l carried with me oil the dynamite I
could manage, and tried to put it where
it will do the most good l think l set
my triggers so as to produce q shock that
will set it of snd blow the solid south
into kingdom come. And now, desr
lambs, l want to use 5 little tar on you.
for TWO very important reasons First,
that you may be easily distinguished from
other lambs; and, second, that you may
stick-to the Republican party"
